Architectural Lighting in Cranberry Township

Preview Your Architectural Lighting Design After Dark

We create custom architectural outdoor lighting that reveals a property’s shape, materials, and character after sunset. Instead of treating the project as a collection of fixtures, we design around the building’s entryways, arches, columns, roof peaks, stonework, and gathering areas.

Our professional designers balance fixture placement, light direction, brightness, and glare control around your needs, preferences, and budget. The result is a coordinated plan for your home or business, with illumination directed where it belongs and visual clutter kept to a minimum.

Architectural Lighting for Homes & Businesses

A lighting plan can combine architectural accents with practical illumination for arrival, circulation, and outdoor use. We tailor the design to the property, whether you want to give a front elevation more depth, define an entrance, or make exterior spaces more usable after dark.

Features and applications we can incorporate include:

• Home Exteriors: Entryways, porches, columns, arches, peaks, stonework, and garage approaches
• Paths and Changes in Elevation: Walkways, stairs, retaining walls, and transitions between outdoor areas
• Outdoor Living Areas: Patios and gathering spaces that benefit from layered, carefully directed illumination
• Commercial Properties: Commercial building lighting for facades, entrances, and areas used by customers or guests after dark
• Efficient System Options: Energy-saving low-voltage lighting options suited to the design and property

How Local Lighting Provisions Shape the Design

Cranberry Township zoning provisions describe architectural lighting as illumination intended to highlight architectural features. The provisions state that the light source shouldn’t be visible from a property line. Fixture concealment, beam direction, and glare control are therefore important design considerations. Careful fixture selection and aiming can also limit unwanted light beyond the intended area.

The provisions allow changing colors or shades when those changes aren’t rapid or flashing. They also prohibit strips or strings of bulbs or diodes affixed to buildings within the architectural-lighting category. Requirements can vary by property, project type, and lighting category, so property owners should confirm which provisions apply to their installation.

From Consultation to Nighttime Demonstration & Installation

Before choosing fixture locations, we identify the features that deserve emphasis and the areas that need practical illumination. This hierarchy allows prominent details to stand out without making every surface compete for attention.

Our process includes:

• Free Consultation: We discuss the property, the features you want to highlight, your lighting preferences, and your budget.
• Customized Design: Our designers determine fixture locations, beam direction, brightness, and the relationship between architectural accents and practical illumination.
• Free Nighttime Demo: You can view the proposed effect after dark before making a commitment. This review can reveal glare, dark spots, unwanted spill, and aiming issues that are difficult to judge during daylight.
• Respectful Installation: We install the system with attention to the property’s existing landscaping and exterior appearance.

Outdoor fixtures, connections, controls, and aiming can need attention over time. We provide continuing lighting maintenance through our Shine365 limited lifetime warranty, and an Annual Maintenance Plan is also available.

Outdoor Lighting Is Our Focus

Outdoor lighting is our focus, not an add-on to a broader list of services. Our professional designers and lighting consultants coordinate concealment, beam spread, color, brightness, and fixture position so the lighting supports the architecture instead of distracting from it.

We use top quality fixtures and materials, including LED lighting fixtures where appropriate for the design. Our personalized service continues from the first design conversation through installation and ongoing care for residential and commercial systems.
